Description

PolyBase in Azure SQL Data Warehouse now supports Azure Data Lake Store.

With this extended functionality, you can load data from Data Lake Store by using familiar external tables and the CTAS command that you have used over Azure Blob storage. The current connectivity to Data Lake Store and Blob storage do not have computation pushdown capabilities and are primarily intended to be a loading mechanism.
